Batteries Have A Long Shelf Life, But…
Most batteries have a shelf life of about ten years. After this time, there’s no real threat to us healthwise if we attempt to use some (they just won’t work). However, if you need the batteries in the event of an emergency, such as for a flashlight in the case of a power outage, you could really be left in a bind.
It’s a good idea to keep a fresh stock of batteries on hand for emergencies and make sure the expiration date is clear. Replace them as needed.
